Intended Use
The TRAM Module is intended for use under the direct supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner, or by personnel trained in its proper use. The TRAM Module is intended to provide uninterrupted monitoring of physiologic parameter data on adult, pediatric and neonatal patients during transport from one area of the hospital or facility, and monitoring system, to another. During non-transport monitoring, the TRAM Module functions in the bedside monitoring system. Physiological parameter data includes ECG, invasive blood pressure, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac output, temperature, and respiration. The TRAM Module acquires, processes and stores information regarding these parameters. The device is intended for use in a professional medical facility, such as hospital, clinic, surgical center or doctor's office. The TRAM System can be used in multiple areas such as operating room (OR), post anesthesia recovery (PARR), critical care, surgical intensive care, respiratory intensive care, coronary care, medical intensive care, pediatric intensive care, or neonatal intensive care. The device is intended for use as part of a transport monitoring system for intra-hospital transport.
Device Description
The TRAM Module is part of a multi-parameter modular system that measures and processes a patient's physiologic parameters. The TRAM Module works as a component of GE Medical Systems Information Technologies host monitoring systems and does not function on its own. The TRAM Module collects a patient's physiological data and sends it to a GEMS IT bedside monitor for display. TRAM modules incorporate different monitoring capabilities based on their configuration. The TRAM Module can also be used as a transport monitor when used with the Transport Remote Acquisition Module Patient Monitoring System.

No
The summary describes a device that acquires, processes, and stores physiological data, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a "monitoring system" that "acquires, processes and stores information regarding" physiological parameters. It collects data and sends it to a monitor for display. There is no mention of it treating, preventing, or mitigating any disease or condition.

No.
The document states that the TRAM Module "acquires, processes and stores information regarding these parameters" (physiological data) and "collects a patient's physiological data and sends it to a GEMS IT bedside monitor for display." While it measures physiological parameters, there is no mention of it performing analysis or interpretation of this data to make a diagnosis. Its function is to monitor and transmit patient data.

No

The device description explicitly states that the TRAM Module is a "component of GE Medical Systems Information Technologies host monitoring systems" and "collects a patient's physiological data and sends it to a GEMS IT bedside monitor for display." This indicates it is a hardware module that interacts with other hardware components (bedside monitor) to acquire and process data, not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine specimens outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The TRAM Module is described as a device that monitors physiological parameters directly from the patient's body (ECG, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, etc.). It acquires, processes, and stores this data for display on a bedside monitor.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the TRAM Module analyzing any biological specimens or samples taken from the patient. Its function is to measure and transmit real-time physiological signals.

Therefore, the TRAM Module falls under the category of a patient monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Kent:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
